We, Gilles Morel (uncle) and Matthieu Le Chantoux (nephew), run an independent family business, producing and harvesting Sea Salts. Our salt marshes are situated in the world famous Guérande basin,(close to the city of Nantes) more specifically in the beautiful Mès basin near Asserac.This is where we manually and naturally harness nature's energies to produce Sea Salt ( Sel Gris Marin : Coarse Sea Salt and Fleur de Sel literraly “Flower of Salt”).

Coarse Sea Salt and Flower of Salt are completely natural, delicate products created with a unique combination of ancestral knowhow and natural elements; the wind, the sun and the ocean.

Put simply; we channel sea water at high tide using a traditional hydraulic system (vasière) through a sluice gate. We then force the sea water to evaporate by making it flow through a circuit (cobier, fard, adernes). As the sea water evaporates, it gains in salinity until it reaches the crystalisers (oeillet), where it forms the Salt Crystals which we then harvest during the production season (June to September).

The same method is used for our Fleur de Sel (Flower of Salt) which is delicately skimmed from the surface of the crystalisers (oeillet). Like our Sea Salt it is pure and natural. To preserve its natural taste it is left to dry naturally in the sun.

We pride ourselves in harvesting our Salt following the traditions of the French Terroir Guérandais and the methods of our ancestors. This protects the subtle taste, aspect of the Coarse Sea Salt and the Flower of Salt.

Our Salts are produced and harvested in accordance with the rigorous standards of the Indication Géographique Protégé IGP label ( Also know as the Protected Geographical Indication; which is an Official Sign of Quality and of European Origin.)

This fully guarantees the quality and the origin of our sea salt.

We also offer Certified Organic Aromatic Sea Salts for all your culinary pleasures.

FLOWER OF SALT Eastern Wind ®

The Fleur de Sel is delicately skimmed off the surface of the crystalisers in the evening, during the summer harvest. Their whiteness and pure quality is due to the fact that they do not float to the bottom and mix with the clay and minerals.
